Comments on: Re-inventing the wheel http://toxiclibs.org/2010/01/re-inventing-the-wheel/ Building blocks for computational design Wed, 11 Jan 2012 22:35:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: MartinK http://toxiclibs.org/2010/01/re-inventing-the-wheel/comment-page-1/#comment-29 MartinK Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:29:45 +0000 http://toxiclibs.org/?p=141#comment-29 Hi, it's great to see a project that relates to the actual physical world of atoms instead of just electrons! I'm looking at a project that involves moiré patterns, so I'm curious about the tolerances you can get from your acrylic cutouts. For instance, if you specify a 1mm diameter hole, what size of hole do you expect to get in the final wheel? Between 0.9 and 1.1mm? Between 0.99 and 1.01mm? Between 0.999 and 1.001mm? A pointer to your lasercutting people would be good if you don't have this sort of information at your fingertips. :-) Hi, it’s great to see a project that relates to the actual physical world of atoms instead of just electrons!

And you know I'm very much into wheels. Should think about how I could use this for my digital volvelles project. Wow, beautiful. And you know I’m very much into wheels.

The three of you definitely got me thinking! :) Would be ace though and shouldn't be too hard from the modelling side, I guess the biggest issue there is worrying about sticking to standard measurements and really do some proper stability testing...
